Dora Kalff, Founder

Picture
Dora Kalff began Sandplay in Zurich, Switzerland. She completed training as a Jungian analyst, but because she did not have a traditional college degree she was not permitted to practice.  Carl Jung encouraged her to work with a child therapist in London, named Margaret Lowenfeld.  This is where Dora first worked with children and sand.  When she returned to Switzerland Margaret agreed she could develop her own method of sandtray therapy.

Dora spoke many languages so she was able to train other therapists in their native languages.  Sandplay spread around the world as others learned the power of this form of sand work.  If you visit the International Society of Sandplay Therapists you can see all the countries in the world where Sandplay organizations are found, and still growing.
